    "the location and area of the homes along with the median household income dictate the makeup of the community and the people and families that live within. "
  • Everardo A.
    "It’s safe, good schools, great for families. New developments are coming, this might change the area, but still quite nice. Close to Vienna metro, and I-66."
  • Brent M.
    "Asking a Fairfax resident, or any Northern Virginia resident for that matter, about their "commute" is laughable. NoVa is one of the busiest areas in America. That said, commutes will vary depending on a variety of factors. My commute is great as I commute in the opposite flow of regular traffic. I go West while they go East in the morning. "
  • Lana M.
    "Traffic sucks in this whole area. Maryland, Virginia, DC. You will have a commute of probably at least an hour or more. "

    "Fairhill elem and luther jackson middle are truly top notch/top rank, and continue to raise the bar every year. falls church high school is well ranked; but even better, it is a NON-CLIQUE, NON-BULLY inclusive environment, with advanced academics in a smaller more intimate school environment. your child doesn't get lost in the crowd, or marginalized.... inclusive student culture, where all support each other."
  • pbradfield
    "Safe friendly neighborhood. Easy access to major highways - I-66 and I-495. Two nearby subway stations are less than 1 mile away. New Mosaic shooing and entertainment district is less than a mile away and Tyson's is a short 5 minute drive."
  • Amir H.
    "I love this location as it is close to great shops, restaurants, Metro, and all the major road ways. I can get to DC in a short time, while Tyson's Corner is a short distance as well. Come check it out and you will love how convenient the area is to everything."
  • Pmark
    "Plentiful parking, well kept properties inside and out"
